How much does a website cost in South Africa?

Why prices vary so much

Two quotes for "a website" can differ a lot because they are often not for the same thing. Price depends on the number of pages, custom design, content writing, online payments, integrations and ongoing support.

What affects the price

• Number of pages and how much content needs to be written
• Custom design versus a template
• Features such as booking, quotes, payments or a client area
• Search engine setup and speed optimisation
• Hosting, security and maintenance after launch

How to compare quotes

Ask every supplier what is included: hosting, email, SEO basics, mobile optimisation, training and support. A cheaper quote that leaves these out often costs more later.

Think in results, not pages

A good website should bring in enquiries. Ask how the site will turn visitors into leads, with clear calls to action, fast loading and easy contact options.
